Book Summary:

Nine years ago, Vivienne Jones nursed her broken heart like any young witch would: vodka, weepy music, bubble baths…and a curse on the horrible boyfriend. Sure, Vivi knows she shouldn’t use her magic this way, but with only an “orchard hayride” scented candle on hand, she isn’t worried it will cause him anything more than a bad hair day or two.

That is until Rhys Penhallow, descendent of the town’s ancestors, breaker of hearts, and annoyingly just as gorgeous as he always was, returns to Graves Glen, Georgia. What should be a quick trip to recharge the town’s ley lines and make an appearance at the annual fall festival turns disastrously wrong. With one calamity after another striking Rhys, Vivi realizes her silly little Ex Hex may not have been so harmless after all.

Suddenly, Graves Glen is under attack from murderous wind-up toys, a pissed off ghost, and a talking cat with some interesting things to say. Vivi and Rhys have to ignore their off the charts chemistry to work together to save the town and find a way to break the break-up curse before it’s too late.

(Summary from Goodreads)

“Never mix vodka and witchcraft” 

Review/Thoughts:

If you’re looking for a fun and whimsical halloween romance, look no further! This books gives Gilmore Girls vibes, but make it witchy. I loved the atmosphere of this book. The couple this book follows, Vivi and Rhys, had great chemistry and banter, but I also enjoyed the main conflict of this book. 

This book does read a little more like a YA romance and is a bit cheesy – but it’s cute, spooky, and easy light-hearted read.
